Bio

Nina Coll is working at Citilab, a citizen lab in Cornellà de Llobregat. She’s a Primary school teacher and she has a Master degree in ICT at education. Currently, she participates at Edulab project, that consist to introduce robotics and programming language as a learning tool for curricular contents in the city schools.

She also trains teachers and design activities looking for new and motivating methods of learning. She was introduced to programming language at adult, but she would like to learn these competences before. For this reason, she wants to increase the number of children to the programming and robotics projects, as a new way of thinking, and being able to resolve problems, specially focused promoting the steam vocations between girls.

Project

During the stay at Faber Residancy I’d like to contribute my pedagogical vision, to improve microBlocks programming language. It’s perfect opportunity to exchange ideas and create new functions and activities. 

One of my Citilab team goals, is to improve on the connection between microBlocks and Snap. So, we will try to work on this way. 

Finally, I hope these days will be useful to generate new projects which allow anyone to learn to program in a fun way. Especially empowering girls and women on this topic.
